5.00Greg was OUTSTANDING, 10/10. He was so captivating and shared such amazing info about Houston that he made us want to move here after the first ten minutes! Greg has done 5000 tours! Super personable, happy to answer our questions, lots of insider info: celebrity homes, places to eat, and so much interesting info both Texas history AND the amazing services and low costs for downtown residents. And our free gifts were awesome! Definitely do this tour.

5.00Absolutely the best general tour of a city we have ever been on. They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in a limo. It was personal and informative, and our guide really knew and took pride in his city. In response to other reviews, we were offered 2 stops for bathroom breaks and photo ops. We would definitely recomend. I can't imagine a better introduction to the city for any price!
